Black hand crimping tool with interchangeable blades and ratchet mechanism

AMPCOM RJ45 Pass Thru Crimping Tool

SKU CH-JGRV-92N5G

Crimps, cuts and strips RJ45, RJ12 and RJ11 connectors for Cat6A to Cat3 cable

  • Product colorBlack
  • Effortless termination with full-cycle ratchet mechanism
  • One-step crimp and cut for pass-through and regular connectors
  • Wide compatibility across CAT6A, CAT6, CAT5e, CAT5 and CAT3 cables
  • Durable high-carbon steel construction with black oxide finish
  • Integrated T568A/B wiring guide for correct pin sequence

Versatile Network Crimping Tool

The AMPCOM RJ45 Pass Thru Crimping Tool handles RJ45, RJ12 and RJ11 modular plugs across Category 6A, 6, 5E, 5 and 3 cables. It suits installers and hobbyists who terminate both pass-through and standard connectors on twisted-pair ethernet or telephone wiring. The hardened steel frame and ratchet mechanism deliver repeatable crimps for field repairs or new cable runs.

Interchangeable Blades and Mini Stripper

The package includes one crimping frame, two short extra blades, two long extra blades and a mini 3-in-1 wire stripper cutter. Swapping blades lets the same tool cut, strip outer jackets and crimp 8P8C, 6P6C or 6P4C plugs without changing instruments. A stainless steel blade strips flat and round cables without damaging conductors, while a blade guard protects the cutting edges during storage.

Simple Install With Wiring Guides

The full-cycle ratchet requires only one squeeze to complete a crimp and cut, reducing hand fatigue on large jobs. T568A and T568B diagrams are marked on the tool for quick reference, helping avoid mis-wired terminations. Users should verify blade orientation before the first crimp; incorrect seating can deform pass-through plugs and waste connectors.

Questions about this item

When do the interchangeable blades need replacing on this crimping tool?

The kit includes two short extra blades and two long extra blades so you can swap them when the cutting edges dull after extended use.

What connector limit appears first when terminating cables continuously with the ratchet mechanism?

The full-cycle ratchet forces a complete crimp each time, so the practical limit is the speed at which you can load and position each 8P8C or 6P6C plug.

How much hand fatigue builds up during all-day crimping with the hardened steel frame?

The ratchet action reduces required force per crimp, and the blade guard protects fingers, keeping strain low even after hundreds of terminations.
